RE: 2022 600 W – Water Line and Road Project - Notice of Award
_______________________________________________________________________________
The city received bids from five contractors to replace the main water line and reconstruct the full
width of 600 West from Pages Lane to Porter Lane. Staff is recommending the City Council accept
Post Construction Company’s bid as the recommended lowest responsible bidder for the total
dollar amount of $1,515,471.25 (Schedules A and B).
Scope
The project was advertised with two schedules as follows:
A. Water Line and Road Reconstruction (Pages Lane to Porter Lane)
a. Replace 2,600 ft. of water main. (This is complicated by existing improvements such
as main sewer line and county storm water infrastructure.)
b. Replace water services.
c. Excavate existing road and install 5” Asphalt Surface, 8" Base Coarse, 12" subbase
and Geotextile (fabric).
d. Repairs to curb and gutter and storm drain infrastructure where needed.
B. Onion Parkway Trail Connection
a. Install 1,470 square feet of concrete and 3,840 square feet of asphalt and associated
improvements to connect the Onion Parkway trail from 680 W to 600 W.
Funding
The FY 21/22 Budget included funding estimated pre-design. The following table compares the
budget to the bid, as well as funding sources. If awarded, this project will likely require an
amendment to the current year budget and/or encumbrances for the FY 22/23 Budget.
Budget (Pre-Design) Bid Funding Source
Road Portion $790,100.00 $565,089.58 Streets Fund, Class C
Water Portion $478,300.00 $898,021.82 Water Fund
Storm Water Portion $11,900.00 $2,243.15 Storm Water Fund
Trail Connection $0 $50,116.70 Davis County
TOTAL $1,280,300.00 $1,515,471.25
550 North 800 West, West Bountiful, UT 84087 (801) 292-4486
Completion Schedule
A schedule for the project has not been established. Post Construction has indicated that they would
like to begin the water line portion of the project as quickly as possible – as early as mid March. Staff
and the contractor are aware of the need to have 600 W in a safe condition for the July 4th holiday.

14
15 Mayor Romney called the regular meeting to order at 7:30 pm. James Ahlstrom offered a prayer and
16 James Bruhn led the Pledge of Allegiance.
17
18 1. Approve the Agenda.
19
20 MOTION: James Bruhn made a Motion to approve the agenda as posted. Mark Preece
21 seconded the Motion which PASSED by unanimous vote of all members
22 present.
23
24 2. Public Comment – Two Minutes Per Person, or Five Minutes if Speaking on Behalf of
25 a Group.
26
27 Eric Eastman, resident and member of the Arts Council, commented that the Arts Council is tired.
28 They feel like they are the only ones in the city trying to foster the Arts. He asked Council members
29 to put July 4th on their calendars because their support is needed for the annual Independence Day
30 celebration. He said it’s a good tradition we don’t want to stop. The decision has been made to hold
31 all events on one day which will be great. He is concerned that the 600 W road construction will be
32 a problem for the parade, park events, and fireworks making it difficult for people to get to and
33 from the events. He suggested the city put construction plans on hold until after July 4th. Mayor
34 Romney said we will look at some options and come up with a way to make it work.
35
36 3. Wildlife Control – Davis County Animal Care, Director Ashleigh Young.
37
38 Ashleigh Young introduced herself as the director of Animal Care of Davis County (ACDC).
39 Although she has only been in her position a short time, she has been in the field for about 10 years.
40 She said she is here to respond to the city’s concerns about ACDC’s policy to stop responding to
41 racoon calls. The policy was changed in June 2020 after reviewing statistics from recent years,
42 dealing with staffing issues, and because private resources are available. She admitted that
43 communication to cities, mayors, and citizens was not handled well and caused confusion because
44 they didn’t understand the problem.
45
46 Ms. Young said there are no easy solutions, but education is important. There is a reason why the
47 animals are here. They are drawn to food sources like pet food, wood piles, areas of junk, etc.
WEST BOUNTIFUL Page 2 of 5
CITY COUNCIL MEETING February 15, 2022
48 Everyone in the community needs be involved by eliminating these attractions which will help
49 reduce numbers but will not solve the problem completely.
50
51 There was discussion about other options. If ACDC was to begin responding to racoon calls again,
52 one additional full-time employee would be needed to handle the additional workload. Based on
53 historic numbers it would likely cost less than private companies that charge on average $100 per
54 animal. She explained that legally the animals cannot be transported alive, so they are euthanized by
55 lethal injection prior to transport.
56
57 Mayor Romney said the city would support the County taking back the responsibility with cities
58 helping to pay the additional costs. Ms. Young said she would prefer citizens to pay at some level
59 to disincentivize hobby hunters who will call with 50+ racoons at a year.
60
61 She said they need to have another meeting with all the cities to see where they all stand.
62
63 There was discussion about ACDC’s new status. Currently they are supported partially through the
64 county and partially through cities. Going forward, they will be supported through property taxes as
65 a new separate line item. This is intended to be neutral for cities and taxpayers.
66
67 4. Resolution 512-22, A Resolution Adopting a Baseball Facilities Use Agreement.
68
69 Duane Huffman explained that the South Davis Recreation District is taking over the Legacy
70 baseball league. This Facilities Use Agreement has been drafted so that it can apply generically in
71 future years.
72
73 MOTION: Rod Wood Made a Motion to Adopt Baseball Facilities Use Agreement and
74 Authorize the Mayor to sign the Agreement. James Bruhn Seconded the
75 Motion which PASSED as reflected below.
76
77 James Ahlstrom – aye James Bruhn – aye
78 Kelly Enquist – aye Mark Preece – aye
79 Rod Wood - aye
80
81 5. Purchase Approvals:
82
83 The city’s procurement code requires that certain expenditures of $10,000 or more first be approved
84 by the city council. Approval is requested for the following:
85
86 a. Accounting Services: $12,000.
87 Previous financial auditors have strongly recommended that the city add professional
88 capacity for accounting purposes. Staff believes that the firm involved with the FY 22 audit
89 is very qualified and now has a unique understanding of the city’s finances that will assist
90 greatly with these services. This will require that the city solicit for new auditors.
91
92 b. Transportation Capital Facilities Plan and Impact Fee Facilities Plan Updates: $19,500.
93 The last update to these plans was in 2008, and it is imperative that they be updated. Staff is
94 recommending the proposal from a firm with expertise specifically with Transportation
WEST BOUNTIFUL Page 3 of 5
CITY COUNCIL MEETING February 15, 2022
95 Impact Fee Facilities Plans, which if done correctly will make an Impact Fee Assessment
96 (by a financial consultant) much better. Staff is currently working on similar proposals for
97 water and stormwater plans.
98
99 MOTION: Rod Wood made a Motion to approve purchase approvals. James Ahlstrom
100 seconded the Motion which PASSED by unanimous vote of all members
101 present.
102
103 6. Meeting Minutes from February 1, 2022.
104
105 MOTION: James Bruhn made a Motion to Approve the Meeting Minutes from
106 February 1, 2022, as Presented. Kelly Enquist Seconded the Motion which
107 PASSED by Unanimous Vote of all Members Present.
108
109 7. Staff Reports
110
111 Police –
112 • Electronic speed signs are up and going. There is still a problem with the one north of city
113 hall, but it can be handled under warranty. Council member Bruhn suggested we post the
114 speed limit on the sign so drivers know how fast they should be going.
115 • Chief Erekson reviewed data from the electronic speed signs on 1100 W.
116 • Interviews are scheduled this Thursday for our new candidates.
117
118 Public Works – Steve Maughan
119 • The well is progressing, it will probably be the end of the month before it is turned into the
120 system.
121
122 Engineering – Kris Nilsen
123 • The 600 W project went out to bid. Bid open is scheduled for February 25. There was
124 discussion about the conflicts with the July 4th celebration raised earlier. Steve said it’s similar
125 to what we dealt with on Pages Lane a few years ago and it shouldn’t be a big problem. We
126 can probably make sure the road is accessible that weekend, even if it’s dirt.
127 • Rocky Mountain Power has agreed to move the poles on 1000 N. We are looking at the costs
128 of putting them undergound.
129
130 Community Development – Cathy Brightwell
131 • Building Permits are picking up now that Spring is around the corner.
132 • Business license renewal penalties were assessed on February 1; about one-third of our
133 licenses are outstanding.
134
135 Administration – Duane Huffman
136 • Ivory homes contacted us and are ready to continue discussions on the west side property. A
137 meeting will be scheduled for next week.
138 • The Highgate owners have been in talks with the new Smith property owners trying to come
139 up with connectivity to the west and the south. They have offered to facilitate discussions.
140 • We met today on the estimated budget for the public works facility. The projected cost is now
141 $5.5 million. There are still some material and sub-contractor issues, but he believes it would
WEST BOUNTIFUL Page 4 of 5
CITY COUNCIL MEETING February 15, 2022
142 be hard to find any project that has been more cost effective. More information will be
143 presented in March.
144 • Plan to have first look at the FY 23 city budget in March.
145 • We expect a conditional use permit application for property in the R-1-10 zone on 400 North.
146 • Highgate developers and Manheim Auto are working on a proposal involving leasing and
147 swapping land to the north of the current development. This proposal would likely require a
148 zone change.
149
150 8. Mayor / Council Reports
151
152 Kelly Enquist – Nearly half of Mosquito Abatement’s new board members are new.
153 He thanked the city for installing the cross walk sign near the park.
154
155 James Bruhn – Arts council concert last Friday was good, and about 50 people attended.
156 He said he is hearing from residents about a lot of dog droppings on the trails. He added that some
157 residents of Mountain View Estates have put their fences about 10 feet from the Onion Parkway
158 trail fence which will result in a lot of weeds growing in the space between the fences. Similar
159 problems exist on the Prospector Trail.
160
161 James Ahlstrom – Youth Council met last week and will begin preparing for the Easter Egg
162 Scramble in April. Rick Rose, a previous resident, has created a presentation in response to Davis
163 County School District’s problems with discrimination. He takes it out to churches and has offered
164 to come to the YCC. They are anxious to see the presentation.
165
166 Mark Preece – South Davis Sewer District meeting will be held this week. All construction is going
167 well, they are ahead of schedule.
168
169 Rod Wood – no report
170
171 Mayor Romney – Covid update – The city peaked at almost 275 total active cases the middle of
172 January and has come down to about 65 active cases last week and 30 active cases this week. Even
173 though testing numbers have decreased, samples of wastewater show decreases consistent with the
174 testing numbers we are seeing. Cases are still high but there has been a steady decrease. Since the
175 pandemic began, we have had several Covid deaths in city.
176
177 Recreation district is going through master planning to considering a second facility. They have
178 looked at several land options and potentially may use a portion of Hatch Park for a new pool. They
179 are also looking at adding a 50 meter pool adjacent to the existing facility on the south side in
180 conjunction with funds from the school district. They will need a bond election for any of the
181 options.
182
